What Does PIP Pay?

Basic PIP coverage pays:

Up to $15,000 for medical expenses incurred within one year of the accident

Up to 70 percent of lost wages, up to $3,000 a month for one year

Up to $30 a day for household services for one year

Up to $25 a day for child care, up to $750 for one year

Up to $5,000 for funeral expenses

PIP pays these benefits regardless of who was at fault for the accident. You can purchase additional PIP coverage from your insurance carrier.

What if I Was Injured on a Motorcycle?

PIP does not cover losses from motorcycle accidents. You may have the right to sue the other driver, however.
